Marco-- Heaven on Earth!


Part of the family (minus Abby & Mike)

Dad took us all to Marco Island for a 10 day family vacation over mom's birthday last month. It was the most wonderful vacation we've been on! Incredibly relaxing-- no schedules-- nowhere to be-- we spent our days by the pool, our evenings at dinner and our nights playing games or doing absolutely nothing.

We had a few visitors over that time-- Grandpa & Grandma Schuler came in for a few days... then Mark & Deborah Clark surprised mom for her birthday on the 18th.
We spent a morning shelling on "Isla de Pamela," my mom's self-proclaimed sand bar about 100 yards away from our condo. We now have enough shells to finish one of the spare bedrooms into our beach getaway room!





We had a boat for three days and saw more dolphins than I've EVER seen!! The most incredible time was when we were in the backwater and a group of 7 dolphins splashed, swam and played within 20 feet of the boat for a good half of an hour. Amazing!!! Here are a few fins for you:



Mike grew a goatee in Florida, but this was only about day 2 or 3 of it... Unfortunately, he just looks a little dirty. ha! I was a big fan of the full goatee, though!




Mike and Rachie went fishing one afternoon... here are the little and BIG catches of the week!


It was so much fun going out to new restaurants each evening with such incredible views! Yet another beautiful sunset!


Picture perfect, wonderful, incredible vacation! Ahhh, to be back there again!
